Draft FEMA National Disaster Recovery Framework open for comment

FEMA, in coordination with the interagency Long Term Disaster Recovery Working Group, has issued a draft of the National Disaster Recovery Framework, which is focused on engaging state, local and tribal governments, nonprofit partners, the private sector, and the public to enhance the US’s ability to recovery from disasters.

A short comment period has now begun which will close on February 26, 2010. This comment period continues the extensive stakeholder outreach efforts undertaken by the interagency Long Term Disaster Recovery Working Group.

The draft Recovery Framework was developed based on input from all levels of government, the private sector, academic and emergency management communities, voluntary and non-profit organizations, and a wide array of associations and organizations—collected through meetings and briefings across the country; online engagement; and a series of video teleconferences and stakeholder forums in five key cities.

To read the draft and comment go to http://www.regulations.gov/ and search for docket FEMA-2010-0004. The current direct link is here.
